Create-A-Community Festival and Charity Event

CoCreate SRQ is a community minded cowork and costudy space in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. We welcome the empire builder, the entrepreneur, the artist, the crafter, and the scholar. The best way to make an impact to our economic ecosystem is to be active in it. We love the local, we give back, we reach out.

Our grand opening is more than an announcement of our presences, it’s a declaration of our commitment to people. We don’t want to horde successful business people, we want to help write a personal success story.
